Neighborhood Beautification Day 2017 draws 300 volunteers!

June 12th, 2017

Volunteers at the Larkins/McGraw Early Childhood site (#12), which included employees from Lear Corporation and Sachse Construction.

More than 300 volunteers participated in our Neighborhood Beautification Day on Saturday, June 10. The volunteers improved 15 sites: 14 southwest Detroit and one in the North End. Volunteers worked in teams to install or refresh flower beds and community gardens, weed and mulch, clear overgrown brush and debris, paint murals, and do general cleanup. This is the 11th consecutive year for the event, which is part of a national and week-long effort arranged by NeighborWorks America. In Detroit, Southwest Solutions coordinates the event in partnership with many community organizations.
